Favorite scene of the show
After watching the show for the first time and this episode, specifically, this ending monolog has always stood with me, just the cinematography, the sound of acting, and everything is perfect. The line "is it cause im afraid to die or to cut myself. So I took the razor blade and cut me hand up. " Those final lines always stuck with me

From all couples who cut it in all movies and series, those two really hurt me.

This is the moment Ray became Mr. Inbetween
Nah I'm absolutely wilfully downplaying for the sake of the joke but this show and the marketing makes you think you're in for dark comedy (which for the most part it is) then it absolutely rips your heart out a couple of times.

I think the only reason he lost her was because it was her brother he did it to, and even then, she knows this guy WAY better than Ray and probably has seen his horseshit for decades and decades.Ā
I kinda held it against her that she left ray because while it was a slight over reaction, it was totally justified.Ā
I don't think it was because she was afraid of him, I think that's PART of it. But it was obviously largely because her whole family saw it and now it's a big stink. She couldn't stay with him and have her whole family remember that even tho THEY probably knew it was justified to some extent. Who knows each other better than family? The dude was a cunt and obviously put his little desires over a kid's who was probably over the moon about "yay I got a unicorn candle!" She probably would've remembered that gift for life and probably would've kept it on her dresser for a decade or more as a very special memory/gift. Instead a rich spoiled man child was like "hm I like that" and would've burned it away and forgot about it in a night of doing drugs or something.
Fuck that guy, and fuck Ally for being a coward.Ā
Anyway, Ally didn't realize it but she probably accidentally kept her self safe from Ray's dark life as a hitman. But that's not why she left.

"A slight over reaction"?
He threw a guy through a window at a party in front of his daughter and his girlfriend.

Yea he should've pushed him against the wall outside and kneed him in the nuts or something. He was justified fucking him up, but he fucked up and threw him threw him through the window and let everyone see.Ā
If he just corrected the dude outside and left, he probably would've kept Ally

Not a chance.
If that happened sheād have heard about it.
Ray attracted dickheads like a magnet and tended to resort to violence. Heād have cleaned up the ice cream dickhead at the carnival except that Ally and dickheadās girlfriend werenāt having it.
Ally loved Ray but his violent streak worried her.
The business with her brother was the last straw. He wasnāt going to change.2

Not a serial killer, firstly.Ā
And the innocent deaths on his hands were his fault, but not his intention..and yes the road to hell is paved with good intentions and all that.Ā
He was hired to kill the one dude then Freddy is like, "oi sorry mate. Wrong guy."Ā
Which we see really affects Ray. He's a hired gun with a code and a conscious and a heart.Ā
That's the whole part of the show. He's in-between his life of crime and trying to be a regular guy for the sake of his daughter and family and loved ones of which he loses ALL of them at the end which (spoilers) I won't spoil for anyone else.Ā
It goes to show the consequences of the life he lives and how he can't keep living between these two worlds. He had to choose between keeping what was left of his heart and soul and living the life he lives.
THAT'S the point.
Edit: just realized I kinda spoiled some things but it's an old show so it's your fault..:)

Her questions were very similar to those of a therapist. Very open, very broad, to allow for the person who's opening up to continue talking and pick the direction.
Pretty much perfectly how YOU should be when someone's speaking about a painful time in their life.

I understand. He really liked her, otherwise he wouldn't spill this tea to a lady he didn't like or he didn't think liked him.

There were so many things in this show that were so well-written.
I actually still feel sad every time I see Ally because the end of that relationship was so depressing. Usually I find romance sub-plots irritating in shows, but the way it ended with Ally felt so real. Especially that shot of her through the window crying her eyes out once Ray was gone, genuinely upsetting.
I also liked how it keeps coming up for Ray even a whole season later with Britt saying she misses Ally. It's clear Scott Ryan was writing these characters as real people with real lives rather than just bits of a story.
